Sure, pumpkin pie is delicious, but when you have family over and mouths to feed, spending hours making pie isn't exactly feasible. This over-the-top cheesecake lasagna, though? It takes 30 minutes to throw together, and once it's assembled, the refrigerator does the rest. Talk about a no-fuss Thanksgiving treat! I love making this no-bake dessert the night before a busy celebration—some extra time in the refrigerator allows the graham cracker layer to get perfectly soft.
The best way to finish off this pumpkin dessert? Top with a drizzle of caramel and chopped pecans for the perfect finishing touch.
